China,s Great Wall Myth.

Able Larrieu. formerly missionary
in China. has published pamphlet,
"Paris Leroux'' on the great wall OF
China. to demonstrate that this struct-
ure does not exist and has never exist
3D. The popular belief is that this wall
stretches for about 800 leagues across
China from the sea to the province OF
Kan-Su. that it is wholly constructed
of cut stone, and thirty cubits high by
twelve broad. 1t is believed to run
straight out regardless of obstacles,
Iping down valleys and up mountains
thout a break, except such as time
made along its whole course. The
ion originated with Jesuit named
vtini, who visited China about 1000,
ohd his description was followed by
subsequent writers. M. Larrieu has
lived for several years under what
would have been the shadow OF the
Great Wall. had there been one; he has
studied the writings of recent writer's
especially Able Hue-who have cross
ed the line of the alleged wall in va
rious places; he has likewise studied
the Chinese history of the subject, and
his conclusions are as follows, ~ The
term Great Wall" Is at the bot
tom of all the misunderstanding.
and il comes from the Chinese express
sion, 1.-THE wall of ten thousand lii" (O
as described by Martini and other
writers who have copied him, this wal
does not and never did exist; (3) Chi
nese emperor undoubtedly did conceive
the idea of great wall from the Gulf OF
La-Long on the east to Kan-Su on the
west, and this. though never realized,
had beginning; az all along the pro-
posed line of the wall square towers of
of earth, or of earth faced with brick.
were constructed at considerable dis
tances from each other, but these were
never joined together by any wall, az
WAS originally intended. In some OF
,e defiles along the route there are
llls. but these were intended to close
ese particular passages, or they are
merely the walls of villages, and are
not parts of larger scheme Hence
the only part of the scheme of the
Great Wall carried out was the con-
struction of these scattered towers; the
rest never went beyond the brain that
conceived it; it was never more than a
fancy, and it is now myth. This huge
Chinese wall. says Able Larrieu. is a
huge Chinese lie. and as for the million
soldiers which were said to guard il
night and day. they are myths likewise.
The alleged Great Wall is a favorite
excursion for Europeans visiting Pekin'
and such question as whether it exists
at all or not should be an easy one to
settle definitely.-London Times.

The Newspaper Diet.

last night. His eyes were hollow and
his cheeks sunken.

The RESCUE" of Captain John
Smith.

Smith.
The Indians especially admired
bravery and cunning This device OF
the white cheftain and his valor when
attacked appealed to their admiration
and there was great desire 10 see him.
The renowned prisoner was received
with the customary chorus OF Indian
yells; and then. acting upon the one
leading Indian custom. the law OF UNI
bounded hospitality a bountiful feast
was set before him. The captive. like
the valiant man he was, ate heartily,
though ignorant what his fate might
be.
The Indians seldom wantonly killed
their captives. When sufficient
number had been sacrificed to avenge
the memory of such braves as had fallen
in fight the remaining captives were
either adopted as tribesmen or disposed
of as slaves.
So valiant warrior as this pale
faced eau cO-rOuse was too important a
parsonage to be used as slave, and
Wa-bun-so-n a-cook, the chief, received
him as an honored guest rather than as
prisoner. kept him in his own house
for two days, and adopting him as his
own son, promised him large gift OF
land. Then, with many expressions OF
friendship, he returned 'him, we'll
escorted by Indian guides, to the trail
that led direct back to the English
colony at jamestown.
This relation destroys the long
familiar romance of the doughty
captains life being saved by 1.-The
Kings" own daughter, but it seems to
be the only true version OF the story,
based upon his own original report.
But though the oft-described rescue
did not take place. the val ant English
mans attention was speedily drawn
to the agile little Indian girl, Malta
Okla, whom her father called his tom
boy or po-ca- hun-taS.
She was as inquisitive as any young
girl, savage or civilized; and as she
was so full of kindly attentions to the
captain, and bestowed on him so many
smiles and looks of wondering curios-
ity, that Smith made much of her in
return, gave her some trliling presents
and asked her name.
Now il was one of the many singular
customs of the American Indians never
to tell their own names, nor even to
allow them to be spoken to strangers
by any of their own immediate k n
dred. The reason for this lay in their
peculiar superstition. which held that
the speaking of ones real name gave
to the stranger to whom it was spoken
a magical and harmful influence over
such person.
For this very reason, Wa-bun-so-na-
cook was known to the colonists by the
name of his tribe, Pow ha-tan, rather
than by his own name. So, when he
was asked his little daughters name,
he hesitated, and then gave in reply the
nickname by which he often called her.
Po- ca hun-tas, the ''little tomboy."
This agile young maiden, BY reason OF
her relationship to the head chief, was
allowed much more freedom and fun
than was usually the lot of Indian girls,
who we're, as rule, the patient and
accomplishing little drudges of every
Indian home and village. e. S. Brooks.
